The real challenge
Newly-arrived Afghan migrants face significant barriers — the chicken-and-egg of needing Australian income history, language gaps, and unfamiliarity with the Australian lending system. Many recent Afghan arrivals are humanitarian visa holders, which has different lending implications than skilled migration.
Most general brokers don't understand these pathways or speak Dari.
